Abstract
We report the case of an 18-year-old man who presented with traumatic trapped penis
after a motorcycle accident. Ultrasonography (US) and CT scan disclosed a trapped
penis buried within the prepubic fat. Imaging findings of the traumatic trapped penis
and the role of imaging study for this rare clinical condition are discussed.
